When did ESPN shy away from sucking Kobe's dick 24/7? :biggums:

if a guy on any message board made a thread called "should kobe stop chucking"


even the biggest kobe hating mod would have to struggle not to delete or lock the thread for trolling/fishing/baiting



yet this type of stuff is what is PUBLISHED on a MAJOR billion dollar sports front page

:facepalm

On pace for most misses per minute all-time >>>>> not chucking

Here's a sentence I never thought I'd need to write:

Nick Young rescued Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers from themselves.

For a night, at least, it appeared to be the case, as on Tuesday, a balanced Lakers attack topped Atlanta. Young returned early from thumb surgery and the Lakers looked like a different team. Carlos Boozer was attacking. So was Jeremy Lin. Bryant took a backseat for almost the entire second half, with only one field goal attempt across 19 minutes of game action, until he took over late.

I'll get this out of the way here: Bryant will go down as one of the best players to ever play the game. He's a legend in Lakerland with good reason. Five titles and countless memorable moments will warrant that kind of lofty status. You don't break the 32,000-point barrier without being elite for a long, long time. In Bryant's prime, he was the most savvy, electrifying scorer in the game and a lockdown defender when he wanted to be.

But this Kobe? He is not that Kobe. This version is 36 years old and coming off two major leg injuries that would jeopardize most players' careers. The fact that he's on the floor and playing every night is something of a medical miracle. No one should question his perseverance or willpower to play at the highest level. You certainly won't hear it from me.

But this version of Bryant can't carry a team to the playoffs like he did in 2006-07. Actually, when you look at the evidence, this version is usually keeping the Lakers from winning games as he plows his way toward scoring records. And maybe that's all part of the plan.

Exactly right. Just like Brandon Wright is "on pace" to shoot 75% on the season and make himself a HOF lock in a single season. All he has to do is keep it up for another 70 games or so.

Somebody post the whole article .

"on pace" is pretty much another useless hypothetical term. He's just applying that same "on pace" logic to everything else.

Is he? Well then he's pretty damn wrong when it comes to Brendan Wright, don't you think?

No one would probably even change their opinion of him as a Player..

Neither with Kobe, but it's still chucking.

well if someone "makes history", good or bad, like missing the most shots per minute (36) or having the highest FG% in a season while scoring xxx amount, it should be talked about. But obviously no one cares about Brendan Wright. But if it was someone important having 75% FG in the first 10 games, they'll be all over ESPN: "on pace to set record FG% for a season."

If Brendan Wright was in Kobe's shoes, "on pace" for most missed shots per minute, it wouldn't all over the news. Hell, most people wouldnt even know about it.

This is a clear example of media bias trying to make Kobe look bad. Here is the mathematically correct infographic:

Better, no?

I noticed that too, ESPN going hard after Kobe. Today after he had his best game of the season so far:

I can't tell if you're joking....

Summer of 2004 was the last time Kobe ever was getting insane publicity for all the wrong reasons.

ESPN is the biggest Kobe hype machine there is, don't kid yourself.

This is the first year (I don't know why), where they are legit creating negative articles about him.

ESPN is what made Kobe overrated...

Lmao at how obv that loaded question is.

Bravo, BSPN.

Why is that an odd title? Dude is chucking away like very few ever have.

And last night the team played their best game of the year and he only took 18 shots.

:confusedshrug:

Yup. And that had Nothin to do with their second best scorer coming back and them playing their worst opponent of the season.. Absolutely nothing to do with that.

[QUOTE=ArbitraryWater]Do you know anything about Brendan Wright's game and the shots he takes?[/QUOTE]

He takes the kind of shots that have gone into the basket 60% of the time over his career. But amazingly he is on pace to dramatically increase his shooting
efficiency by [B]16%[/B] this season.

Wow. Brendan Wright has completely retooled his shot and is a whole new player this season - somebody call ESPN!

So amaze.
